It is a black , oily liquid obtained by the dry distillation of
coal and embracing Biborate of sodium , calciurajsodium , potassium
and extracts of resinous materials with xylol. quaiacol and creosol.
Xylol is a hydrocarbon taken by destructive distillation from
the eiupyreumatic oleoresin of Pinus Palustris.

creasote.
Biborate of sodium is prepared by lixiviation of earth , which
is strongly impregnated with borax evaporating the solution and
crystallizing , Calcium , Knrlinm nnrPntacuinm are elements f\t
nature
The question mizht occur if these properties are found in
Coal , why not use coal ? The answer is First , coal does not contain
all the constituents ; second , those it does contain are only yielded
at a temperature of over 320 degrees Fahrenheitand it is plain that
if a hog's stomach generated this amount of heat the hog would
become roast pork seasoned with fried parasites of hog cholera.

Convincing Proof.
Case No. 41,20G.-Capt. Alfred G.
Rigler of Hose Company No. 4 , Cann ,
Ohio , says : "I had a weak back e rer
since I was a boy , and about six years
ago the cause developed into rather a
bad case of kidney complaint. It was
not a little backache now and then , but
backache which caused actual suffer
ing day and night , and the harder I
tried to get rid of it the worse it be
came.
"When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down , and
when down it was just as hard to re
gain an erect position , on account of
the twinges of pain in the kidneys. I
can only describ ome of the pangs as
similar to that ceived from a knife
thrust. ,
"lu time , distressing and terribly in
convenient urinary weakness resulted ,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss of sleep during rue
night.
"I took everything which came to my
notice from reading , from observation ,
and which my friends and acquain
tances advised. I consulted physicians ,
but none of thorn were able to relieve
the trouble , let alone stop it.
"It became so well known that I 1'ad
a pronounced case of kidney complaint
that I often received circulars from
medical companies offering to cure me ,
and one day eighteen letters were
handed to me by the mail carrier.
"When Doan's Ki Iney Pills attract
ed my attention I wanted to try them ,
just as I had tried everything else ,
and Mrs. Rigler went to Durban &
Wright Co.'s drug store for a box. Re
lief followed
"I knew after a dose or two that the
medicine was acting directly on the
kidneys from the altered condition of
the kidney secretions , and , encourag
ed , I continue 1 the treatment. Finally ,
the backache and other complications
stopped.
"Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying I would
willingly pay one month's wages for a
box of them if I could not buy them
for less. You can refer anyone to me
about Doan's Kidney Pills and I will
convince them that they act just as
represented. "
Four Years After.
"Lapse of time has strengthened my
appreciation of Doan's Kidney Pills.
I 'gave this remedy my unqualified ; n- >
dorseinent in the summer of 1800 , be
cause of the results I obtained from a
course of the treatment. I can now
ad 1 to my original indorsement the ex
perience of a number of others who are
just as enthusiastic , when they ex
press their opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills , as I. "

Long before civilization found its way
to the Philippines , piracy was actively
practiced there. It undoubtedly had its
beginning among the Moslems living on
the Sulu archipelago , who levied trib
ute upon neighboring islands and rob
bed Chinese merchantmen. When
Magellan started out to find a passage
connecting the Atlantic with the Pa
cific ocean , his first landing near the
Philippines was at a group of islands
where the natives proved themselves
to be the most artful of artful dodg
ers.
Several of them stole a small boat
from Magellan's ship , and the great
navigator gave the name of Ladrone
( the Spanish word for thief ) to the isl
ands.
After the Spaniards had settled in the
Philippines a piratical alliance was ef
fected between the Sulu and Mindanao
potentates , and piracy was prosecuted
with great vigor by organized forces
equaling those of the Spaniards. For
over two centuries and a half Mussul
